it's about time huh?

Weekend in Sicilia, Italia through pictures

Grapes in the fields we were supposed to work in on Saturday, but due to rain, we had to change our plans.


Maggie, Kari, and Alex with some Corleone Italianos


Survivor of the 1947 massacre and Profesor McClean. This man was so interesting to listen to and very expressive!

Site of the 1947 massacre. We talked to 3 survivors as they recounted their experiences and memories and talked about the Mafia in sicily.






A memorial in memory of a man killed by the mafia






Beautiful views and early mornings





Risa standing in the old Theatro spot where plays were performed. If you stand here your voice echoes to the people in the stadium seating


View of Temple of Segesta from the bus




Pasticiera and restaurant where we had lunch and escaped from the rain. Shown here is marzapane--they look like fruit but they are like cookie dough inside and most everything had almond flavoring.



Our first day, looking at the Castle of Eric, we were hit hard by rain
